“Anima Mundi” (1992) was the third collaboration between director Godfrey Reggio and composer Philip Glass (following Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi). It was produced in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund’s Biological Diversity Campaign and features amazing, beautiful and hypnotic images of a multitude of animal species from around the world. At just under half an hour, it’s a relatively short film but well worth seeing, especially for fans of non-narrative documentaries such as Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka, and Samsara.
